Gaming New Wii U Mario game confirmed for E3

[Guild McCommunist]

I found it to be one of the greatest RPGs in existence for the above reasons, as well as because it blends various Western RPG inspired elements without going overboard. Not too mention the music is amazing (definitely some of the best there is), the dub is well done (and if one doesn't like it, they can just play the Japanese track), the character's are relate-able, the mechanics are just plain great, the environments are gorgeous- though it only gets better as one progresses. Depending on what you did during that hour...well, the story gets pretty mature pretty quick at one point. But still, it's not for everyone, as is any game, and I won't try to persuade you into liking the game, because that would be inconsiderate.

Environnments are "gorgeous" if it was a PS2. It's not Skyrim. Not by a long shot.

I mean I can't say too much since I didn't play too much but it just seemed uninteresting. Sidequests felt really mundane, the "open world" felt average, the combat and mechanics felt just boring and bland.

I feel people make too much out of Xenoblade than it's actually worth. In all honesty if it was a Xbox 360 or PS3 game then it'd be given much lower marks.

I doubt it, because the art direction is so well done that people don't care so much about the technicalities of the graphics, it seems people actually do care more about graphics than just how old or new it looks, like the art style, direction, and the various other factors employed in art itself.

The sidequests are completely optional and can be mundane, but they're mostly there to give you something to do while you're out exploring and to give you an incentive to explore, and it does it well later on (not far later) as stronger enemies, gems, and new weapons are introduced and become essential.

Honestly, at the beginning, I wasn't expecting much, but when I got to Bionis' Leg, that's when my opinion of the game shot up.

No more Super Mario Galaxy series or sequel to Super Mario 64. A brand new HD Mario is a plus!

No more Galaxy please, hopefully a direct spiritual sequel to Super Mario 64. Co-op with Luigi please.

how would that work? i mean its very possible i just cant imagine it.

How would that work? All the 3D Mario games have essentially been reimagind "evolutions" of Mario, and 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy each had enough differences in mechanics and gameplay to truly be different from each other, imo. To say "No Super Mario 64 sequels" to Mario is kinda like saying "No Ocarina of Time" sequels to Zelda.
